This McLennan County town of 5,000 residents is located 14 miles from Waco. The town, which was first called McGregor Springs, is named for Dr. Gregor McGregor and lies at the junction of two rail lines: St. Louis Narrow Gauge and Santa Fe Railroads. Even today, the rail plays a role in this town's economy thanks to its location on Amtrak's Texas Eagle line.
